The Stuttgart Police Department is investigating an arson that took place Tuesday in Stuttgart.

SPD officers and the Stuttgart Fire Department arrived in the 1200 block of East Cleveland at approximately 5:30 a.m. to find a 2001 Cadillac DeVille engulfed in flames.

"The rear driver's side window, front driver side window and the top left corner of the windshield had all been busted out," SPD Ptl. Paul Hofstad wrote in his incident report that was released Wednesday.

After SFD arrived on scene and extinguished the flames the owner, a 25-year-old Stuttgart man, arrived. He told officers that he took the vehicle to his brother's home at approximately 6 p.m. on Monday where it was parked when set aflame, according to SPD.

"Once all the smoke was out of the car I noticed a brick in the back seat of the vehicle that had been used to bust the window out with, and the (SFD) also advised that the fire was purposely set," Hofstad said.
